Mum Marion says Theo's friends and school have been incredibly supportive of his decision
A mum has praised her son, aged 7, calling him 'inspirational and brave' for wearing girls' clothes to school. Theo Easton started wearing a pinafore when he returned to classes in September.
She continues: "He's a rough and tumble wee boy. He plays with Lego and likes army games. He identifies as a boy, but he just doesn't feel comfortable in boys' clothes. "Theo said he felt brilliant when he was out playing in his pinafore on his break and at lunch. He didn't feel any different."The smile on his face when he came out of school that day basically said it all for me. He's just so inspirational and so brave.
"It's that straightforward for me. So I'm trying to let it go over my head because I'd rather my son was happy in the skin he's in than for him to develop psychological problems further down the line. I would never forgive myself if my son got to that stage in his life. She said: "A couple of parents have asked me if I think this is a phase. I told them that if it is, then he's entitled to have his phase.
